For every negative theres a positive and for every positive there is a negative

Usually within an atom, the protons and electrons are equal to make the atom have a neutral charge.

However, there are cases in which the protons and electrons are different, such as Cations and Anions. Cations end up having a positive charge (less electrons than protons), and Anions end up having a negative charge (more electrons than protons).

I hope this helps!

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of 3kg of iron from 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius
Yuri [45]

Answer:

6750 J

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of iron is 450 J/kg/K

Quantity of heat = mcθ; where m is the mass and c is the specific heat capacity and θ is the temperature change.

Therefore;

m = 3 kg, c = 450 J/kg/K and θ = 5°C

Quantity of heat = 3 × 450 × 5

                           <u>= 6150 Joules</u>

Which of the following equations follows the law of conservation of mass?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

option A = C₂H₄ + 3O₂   →    2CO₂   +  2H₂O

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

This law stated that mass can not be created or destroyed in chemical reaction. It just changed from one to another form.

For example:

C₂H₄   +   3O₂   →    2CO₂   +  2H₂O

28 g   + 96 g    =      88 g  +  36 g

    124  g           =      124 g

This reaction correctly hold the law of conservation of mass.

Other options:

C  + 4H₂  →   CH₄

12 g  + 8g  = 16 g

  20 g  =   16 g

This reaction do not hold the law of conservation of mass.

3H₂O  →   3H₂  +  3O₂

  54 g  =   6 g +  96 g

   54 g =   102 g

This reaction do not hold the law of conservation of mass.

2Na  +  Cl  →  NaCl

46 g  + 35.5 g  =   58.5 g

  81.5 g = 58.5 g

This reaction do not hold the law of conservation of mass.
